Most appropriate time for the adaptive reuse of historic buildings using ARP model

Abstract

Purpose The concept of adaptive reuse is an effective strategy for enhancing heritage assets, economic, cultural and social values. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to reuse historic buildings within appropriate time frames. The adaptive reuse potential (ARP) model assesses the potential of buildings based on obsolescence criteria in order to determine the optimal time for changing the use of such assets. Design/methodology/approach Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used in this research to evaluate the reuse potential of The Mashrooteh Building by using the ARP model. Predicting and evaluating the physical life, useful life and potential of the historic Mashrooteh building in Tabriz will ensure its reuse and will increase its future life. Findings Findings have shown that to increase the future life of The Mashrooteh Building, its adaptive reuse quality needs to be improved for the next intervention within a reasonable time. Further procedures can be outlined when the appropriate time for future rehabilitation is known. Originality/value With an emphasis on conservation of national heritage as well as promoting sustainable development, the overall future life of assets can be extended. The significance of this study is closely related to organizations dealing with the conservation and rehabilitation of historical buildings with the emphasis on sustainable improvement of environmental, economic, social and functional aspects in the best possible time frame. The result of this study will add a value to existing sustainable reuse database in Tabriz and other countries in the Middle East region.

Adaptive Reuse of Historical Buildings Using ARP Model: The Case of Qishla Castle in Koya City

“…The outputs of the current research using the mechanism provided by this model are consistent with many studies on cases of other historical buildings (Arfa et al, 2022; Conejos et al, 2014, 2015, 2016; Hong & Chen, 2017; C. Langston et al, 2013; A. Sharifi, 2019; A.…”

Real-time Structural Stability of Domes through Limit Analysis: Application to St. Peter’s Dome

“…Historical structures may suffer recurrent structural modifications during their life span, which can be caused by adaptive reuse (Sharifi 2020), degradation of structural elements, or damage caused by extreme events such as earthquakes, floods, among other causes (Prieto, et al 2019). A sequential type of analysis may be then required when assessing its structural behaviour.…”

Evaluation of the future adaptive reuse of Mashrooteh house using the adaptSTAR model

“…The advantages of using the land use change concept are reduction in pollution, increase in recycle and reuse of structural elements. Furthermore, if revival procedures are not to be taken in a timely manner, premature obsolescence will occur (Sharifi, 2019). This issue has finally led to the development of the adaptSTAR model, which is a weighted list of design criteria, helping for successful adaptive reuse of buildings in the future.…”
